Teething Trials

Let me just give a big PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH to teething.  Our poor Little Man is just having a rough, ol' time of it.  Those poor teeth (or lack thereof) are giving him (and us) the biggest fit.  He's not taking naps (or very short ones), even though he's extremely exhausted, because it hurts too much to sleep.  He's extremely sensitive and clingy; just wanting a comforting touch, I suppose.  The really bad part is that not one single tooth has yet to come in!  I would be more that happy to help it along, if I could.  I can only give him so many teething rings, cold juice, teething tablets and mesh feeders with frozen fruit to try to help relieve the pain and discomfort.  It's trying to not get aggravated with his persistent crying/screaming and fighting sleep.  I know that he can't help it and he's only expressing how he's feeling but, I'll be honest, it does grate on my nerves and I do have to keep myself in check, having to keep in mind that he doesn't wish this pain on himself anymore than we do.  I'm glad that at least he's too little to remember any of this misery of his...or mine!
